With the BlackBerry app store initially targeted to launch in March, it's nice to see it appears RIM is on track as they have JUST OPENED up a new site allowing BlackBerry Developers to submit their apps for inclusion in the upcoming app store! If you're a BlackBerry Developer, this is your chance to get to the front of the line. Hurry Up! We heard from some of those involved in beta testing the submission process that it's pretty streamlined and smooth, so be sure to report back in the comments and let us know that is in fact the case.

Update: In case you're wondering what devices will support RIM's new app store, the app store client will be available to all in-market BlackBerry smartphones sporting OS 4.2.1 or greater. Sweeeeet. *

Read the article I link to at the top of the blog post. There are to different things here... the BlackBerry Application Center (carrier controlled, what's on the Storm) and the BlackBerry Application Storefront (not yet launched, controlled by RIM, more akin to iPhone style app store).

Does anyone know yet how this will compare to the App Store for the iPhone? I have a touch, and if I could get something even remotely close to that for my Storm, I would be in heaven. . . No matter how much I hate iPhone fanboys, I have to hand it to the guys in Cupertino. The App Store is revolutionary.
